How to connect Roku to Google Assistant

Roku is great and easy to use. Google Assistant is great and easy to use. And now you can use the two of them together. You can now connect your Roku account to your Google Home account, enabling Google Assistant to control any Roku device in your home.

Once you've got all that done, you'll be able to control your Roku device — and this goes for the streaming sticks, or dongles, boxes or Roku TVs — using Google Assistant. Google Assistant, of course, is available on Android phones, on iOS, through a smart speaker like Google Home Hub or Google Home Mini, through Android TV, or through Google Smart Display.
